As the Apostle Paul concludes his letter to the Ephesian churches (Ephesians 6), he uses the metaphor of a soldier's armor to remind us of our spiritual responsibilities, obligations, and spiritual formation within the community.  Tucked neatly and poetically in the middle of these armor pieces is one phrase that we might be tempted to pass by.  Perhaps because it is a less noticeable piece of a soldier's wardrobe or because it rolls off the tongue so easily:  "the sandals of the Gospel of Peace";  seems to slip by us.  This Sunday we will unpack the meaning behind "the gospel of Peace" and why the Apostle Paul attaches that phrase to a soldier's footwear?  Most importantly we will strive to see how this piece of a soldier's garb allows us to stand firm while also travel quickly into battle when needed.  Please join me on Sunday for another joyful worship celebration, time of prayer, being in fellowship, song, and learning.  Make sure you wear your nicest shoes and remember they represent the "gospel of peace"!

Elaine Hanson, the director of True North Choir invites students entering 6th to 12th grade to join them in the fall, starting on September 20th. Have never sung in a choir before? No problem! They will train you. The choir rehearses Sunday mornings after second service from 12 noon to 12:40 in the sanctuary. This is a fun and welcoming group. We encourage you to give it a try! Contact Elaine with questions. 

Join us on October 4 for our first Ministry Partnership Day! Representatives from the local and global ministry partners supported by North Point will be with us before, between, and after services. This special event is an opportunity to learn more about these ministries, meet ministry leaders, discover volunteer opportunities, and explore how God may be calling you to engage through prayer, service, or financial support. Come ready with questions and excited to learn about the incredible work God is doing through our ministry partners.
